To commemorate fifty years of proof minting at the San Francisco facility, the U.S. Mint released 200,000 2018-S Silver Reverse Proof 10-Coin Sets. Since the set's July 2018 release, several Kennedy Half Dollar obverses have been found to be struck with a "Light Finish," featuring lower contrast between devices and fields than a customary reverse proof strike. This Silver Reverse Proof Kennedy Half Dollar from the set is authenticated as the Light Finish variety.

Iconic Design of the Kennedy Half Dollar

A portrait of President Kennedy created by Gilroy Roberts is centered on the obverse, surrounded by the inscriptions "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "2018" and "S."

The reverse features an adaptation of the United States Presidential Seal encircled by fifty stars. Designed by Frank Gasparro, the image includes the inscriptions "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR."

This Light Finish variety Silver Reverse Proof Kennedy Half Dollar from the 2018-S San Francisco Mint Silver Reverse Proof Set is graded an impressive Proof 69 by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Received for grading within the first thirty days of release, the nearly perfect reverse proof coin is additionally designated First Releases. The coin is presented in a protective holder accompanied by a certification label featuring a San Francisco Trolley.
